Logitech Media Server by Super-Poisson not compatible with 6.6.0

First of all: both of you (nsne and ABNL) are right that a (small) NAS is a consumer device and that it should work and be maintained (by its owner) easily.

But you have tio remember that this means that some people have to dig deep to clear errors and/or fix bugs. That is what we were doing here.

Of course there should be a manufacturer-based solution, be it by Netgear or the makers of the add-on packages. But Super_Poussin asked for input, whiich he got. So a more userfriendly soluition is probably on the way, in the form of a new firmware or new add-ons.

I think mherge (he works at Logitech with LMS dev) over at forums.slimdevices.com is working on it. I know he asked the maker of the fix if he could include it the nightly LMS.

ottovonkopp I'd say that that would be a nice stop-gap solution, but Perl beinig a programming language I'd say that in the end it probably should be part of the firmware, since many more add-ons might use it (Perl isn't ubiquitous but not exactly hardly ever used, especially on Linux platforms).

If Netgear agrees with that it's something for 6.6.1, which might as well be an interim release.

Just my 2c.

Thank you for the explanation: I think I'll manage. I've done something like that with the SQB itself for making it more 'audiofile' with a hires plugin or something. But I forgot and I reinstalled the enhanced function since I stopped doing source upsampling.

You are right, it seems to be better to wait for a prepared solution at first. I'll be patient.

I installed LMS on a PC again and time will learn what happens. Thanks for the help so far guys.

Hello, I'm not very good at this and I am trying to get my LMS back running.

I d/l Putty and when I log into my nas it coonects but then the terminal window quits.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Username is "root", and password is the NAS admin password.

ssh needs to be enabled on system->settings->services

Thank you!

Its working now thanks to you, ottovonkopp, and nsne.

Thank you all

From https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commits/public/7.9 it appears that the Perl-modules will now be installed withnthe nightly's. Quote:

Merge pull request #118 from danielvijge/perl-5.20-armel-modules

See: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.9 (to download the nightly).

If you already have installed (and are running LMS from a earlier version of the nightly's) your LMS installation will report:

  An updated version of Logitech Media Server is available and ready to install.

On some Linux distributions we provide an automatic download of Logitech Media Server update installers. These currently are available for .rpm and .deb based systems.

Your Logitech Media Server has downloaded the latest installer to the following location:

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1477086729_arm.deb

Please execute the following steps to bring your Logitech Media Server installation up to date:

• Log in to your server machine using your username and password.
• Run the following command to execute the installer
• sudo dpkg -i /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1477086729_arm.deb

Before I forget: On a Readynas you log in (through SSH with f.e. 'putty') as 'root', therefore you don't have to use 'sudo' which stands for 'superuser do'. Root already is superuser (su).

So 'dpkg -i /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/logitechmediaserver_7.9.0~1477086729_arm.deb' will do.

My bad: It's not the Pearl language itself, but the libraries for LMS that are missing. So adding them to the LMS-ser ver is the right way to do it!

Thanks to all of you for your efforts. I'm back up and running.

Cheers

I can also confirm it is now working for me.    Really appreciate your efforts chaps.   No more early adopting ReadyNAS upgrades without reading the notes.  This is what i did

1. Install nightly LMS (in Apps tab > Upload)

2.  

   Install lms_1.0.9_all.deb Iin Apps tab > Upload)
3. Switch on LMS in Apps

No ssh magic needed

Thanks again

Brillant.  WOrked for me.  Thanks to all of you!

Also working for me on ReadyNAS 214,

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have been following this closely & tonight I installed the LMS nightly 7.9 & 1.09 Deb which both loaded fine onto my ReadyNas 102. All seemed to go well then once I restarted LMS 7.9 on my ReadyNAS 102  it all went pear shaped. My LMS interface is not the usual appearance,  it is very simplistic in appearance & won't allow me to point it to the NAS folders, I don't know what went wrong. I have downloaded LMS7.9 onto my laptop to get me going again.

I assume the LMS 7.9 nightly is from here :

http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/index.php?ver=7.9

Also the 1.09 Deb is from the Dropbox hosted by Poussain.

Thanks for any help.

Same here; LMS is working fine again on a RN 204. 

Thanks everyone who solved the problem!!!! :smileyhappy:

Hi thank you,

Followed your steps and it works for me too ;-)

Just deleted the existing App entry and configured the LMS again to complete the process.
